About the role

The Role
Building the financial backbone of a company defining Europe's AI infrastructure is one of the most exciting places to start a career in finance. We're looking for a sharp, driven, and analytical Finance Intern to join our founding team for a 3–6 month internship, working directly with our CFO on the financial systems, models, and insights that move the business forward.
This is a hands-on role at the core of a fast-growing infrastructure company. Not a coffee-fetching internship, but a real seat at the table from day one. Successful candidates rely less on years of experience than on ownership, structure, and the drive to build things from the ground up.

What You'll Do
Support financial reporting, forecasting, and strategic planning

Maintain and improve our financial models, including cost structures, P&L, CapEx, and cash flow

Prepare investor materials and support our equity and debt fundraising processes

Build internal tools and processes for finance and operations

Contribute to pricing strategy and business model development

Work across teams to support decision-making with clear financial insights

What We're Looking For
A high sense of ownership and a genuine desire to build from the ground up

A sharp analytical mindset paired with a structured, detail-oriented working style

Curiosity for how infrastructure, compute, and finance intersect

Highly reliable, hands-on, and comfortable in fast-paced environments

Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's in business, finance, economics, engineering, or a related field, or a recent graduate

Bonus Points
Prior internship experience in finance, consulting, VC, or an early-stage startup

Experience with side projects, student initiatives, or anything entrepreneurial

A passion for AI, compute, or the economics of infrastructure

Why us?
Outstanding team: Work with some of the best engineers in the world, coming from hedge funds, big tech, AI startups and top universities

Once in a lifetime opportunity: Early-stage company in the fastest-growing market in the world

Ownership: Shape how European AI companies access GPU compute

European mission: Build sovereign, GDPR-compliant AI infrastructure for the next generation of deep-tech
